Review

"A series opener that will delight cat AND dog fans." --Kirkus Reviews"Brockenbrough's appealing early chapter book features simple, declarative sentences with lots of repetition and cat-centered humor. Lau's digitally manipulated, painted illustrations showing a slobbery corgi, an expressive cat, and two brown-skinned humans convey both Frank's moods and the gentle humor." --Kirkus Reviews"Cute and hilarious" -- Booklist"Lots of white space, repeated vocabulary, and humorous spot and full-page illustrations create a welcoming reading environment for youngsters. The fact that Frank's humans are a mixed-race gay couple only boosts this book's value." -- Booklist
